thanksgiving break is never long enough and as per usual I didn't get any work done, w/e w/e I do what I want. and what I want is to procrastinate until the very last possible moment.

anyway. this is kind of random but I was wondering, would anyone like a post about my ~methods of reccing? that sounds super pretentious and obnoxious and probably nobody is at all interested, but I also realize that I have followers who are here for the recs and nothing else and idk, maybe some of you would like to know where I get the stuff on the list so you don't have to wait for my next extremely delayed due to exigencies of graduate school update? (and of course there are always the people who think it's a big clique-y circle jerk but let's face it, I could explain my system until I was blue in the face and they'd still think I just recced everything because my friends wrote it. am I still slightly peeved that my objectivity was called into question? why yes, now that you mention it!)

yuletide yuletide yuletide etc, not even going to try to start cornerflag until that's all over. probably forgetting something, remind me if you know what it is!

um, you mean it isn't a big clique-y circle jerk?????????????? THIS IS NEWS TO ME, WOMAN

jk jk jk i'd actually be interested in this post, mostly for fic finding/reading purposes, but.

well I mean there's probably some mutual gratification taking place under the table, let's not kid ourselves XDD but isn't that what fandom's all about?

I think I'll try and get that together, then! I like meta-ing sometimes.

new places to find reading material? count me as interested!

[meretricula.livejournal.com]

I will not just be rambling to myself, then! excellent! though I don't want to mislead anybody, >90% of it comes from footballslash. XD

[justkisa.livejournal.com]

still interested! you always have stories on the list that i've never seen before and I'm interested in the methods part too

[meretricula.livejournal.com]

always happy to share :) I'll put that together soon, then!

[justkisa.livejournal.com]

awesome!

Woop woop now would be as good a time as any to ask whether it's okay if I friend you? Due to being interested in your reccing theories, but also due to extreme exigencies of graduate school sympathy. Friends?

Jaysus, I'm so awkward.

dude if you still want to talk to me after I fangirled all over you that time you are welcome to come hang out in my virtual space whenever you like! ~brofist~

also, grad school. le sigh. you too?

don't worry, you got nothing on me.

Grad school: alas, yes. Civil War (yours, not mine) shenanigans all the way, with generous lashings of shite undergraduate essays, and regular recourse to the Demon Drink.

As I often say to justkisa, mcfc.co.uk is frequently (and ironically, seeing how that place is a cesspool of shippy, mischievous madness) the only thing that keeps me sane.

I guess I should just thank my lucky stars I'm not the kind of grad student who has to deal with undergraduates XD

I bet Sharon is secretly one of us. it's the only explanation for how the damn site ships things so hard. I mean, they are really pushing Silva/AJ! not that I am complaining, not least because this proves my powers of prophecy in re: soon-to-be-popular pairings. (though you got into it ahead of me! so you should probably be the one with smug brownie points.)

I have no information for you, but I did just get MY PICTURE FROM YOU and IT WAS GREAT THANKS SO MUCH.

I am glad it arrived safe, even though it took me approximately a geologic age to put it in the mail XDD
